    Hi ladies and Bruno,

    I haven't had chance to read back but just wanted to let people know to keep there eye's peeled in Tesco for reductions on the baby aisle. Today they had this sleeping bag for £1.81 in 0 - 6 months but the next size up was still £15, there was also a Chicco highchair for £29.99 from £50+ IIRC and a take along swing about a third of the original price. There may have been other bits too as I saw a lot of empty gaps but these bit's stuck in my head :D

    Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend and babies are behaving :)

  • Afternoon all. Busy day today - we left Izzy with my Mum and brother this morning while we went off to the allotment with my Dad. We cleared the pollytunnel and I've planted crocuses and tulips :) Clearing the pollytunnel has resulted in lots of green tomatoes to use up, so I now have 7l of chutney on the stove. We will be eating it for years!

    I've also got carrots to clean and freeze and washing up to do, but I am desparately in need of a sit down!

    Izzy is being a real cutie this afternoon - she has been dancing round to the green balloon club song, and joining in with everything she can join in with :)

    Me too, me too! Could we leave the babies at home and have a grown up meet (joke...maybe)?!

    I was thinking somewhere central - that way if there are people getting the train and some in-london people I'm sure we can find somewhere we can all get to on foot/without to much drama ont he bus from wherever we are coming from. Anyone got any suggestions? Will do some googling if not! I like the idea of doing a no-kids meet, but not sure how realistic that is for me at least - not that DH wouldn't want to look after Izzy for the day, but he would have to book a day off to be able to do it.

    I've just bought my facebook secret santa squirrel person's LO a fab present in asda's two for £8 on toys, they are going to love it I recommend those involved to go and have a look. I've got a better toy than I could have otherwise got for well under the guide price, so I can get something nicer for the mummy than I had planned too love it!

    Oh, that is a great tip - do you know how long the offer is on for?

    No date yet, but can you come? That would be immense. WE just got talking about it the other day and as A as never been it would be rude not to. I suggest we either do November or leave it till January as December will be heaving.
    I think you are right there - I don't want to go anywhere near around christmas ;)

    hi we were told the health visitors are looking for 8 words at the 18 month review. At 15 months another health visitor expressed a concern, so I rang SALT, who said he sounded delayed, but now they are quite happy.

    HTH

    Thank you :A.
    Hi Glam, good to 'see' you. Good luck with the job. x

  • Oh I missed some of my quotes somewhere.

    CFAC I'm glad you are feeling a bit better today - glad you've given your DH a kick up the bum, sounds like he has got the message :)

  • Afternoon all,

    had the hangover from hell today, OH has gone out to get me a burger king now, he has his good points ;)

    not fully caught up yet but just popped on to say theres a xbox membership misprice on the grabbit board, quite a big misprice so unlikely that it will arrive but worth a shot?

    Glad you had a good day bruno, cant believe the parking cost though, id have been screwed i rarely have money on me, and if i do its always less than a tenner lol

    How olds your little one dt1? i think jasmine might end up getting referred..i think she'll get there without the help personally. I was thinking back to Jake and his speech was so advanced for his age but him being my first i didnt really realise, he was 2yrs and 2months when I got pregnant with Jasmine and we had a full conversation about it, was speaking in sentences well before his 2nd birthday, x

    Not sure how long the asda toy offer is on for but got S some stuff in it last Dec. Quite basic stuff then though, the stuff they've got in my local one is good, some Leapfrog and Fisher Price bits!

  • Ta Em - might see if we can get to the Chandlers Ford Asda on Wednesday. I could stop off in Basingstoke on the way home from work, but that adds white a while on my journey. Maybe if my parents doen't mind sticking round for some extra time on Tuesday we could do it then instead ~ponders~

    Hello....

    I didn't manage to get back on at all yesterday (I have read back but won't comment)

    DS2 had a great time picking out PS3 games and we also got the playstation move, it is really good:) we spent the rest of the day playing on it. I was shattered last night, as you can probably imagine;) so went to bed by 10pm......one or both of the kids woke up in the night but it was all a blur as I was so sleepy!

    Not sure I mentioned but both the LO's have been a bit poorly with a kind of tummy bug....they have both been barely eating/drinking and have had right stinky old bums:( K has eaten loads today so he must be getting over it, T still isn't right but she has kept more down today at least.

    I am going to go and give the LO's there annual bath;) but will try and pop back later.....I think I am going to do a tesco order this week as the big'uns are off school..........

    back soon xx
